A Review on Casting and Testing of Bimetals

Abstract

Metals have been existing for ages and the production methods to shape, form the metals as per the requirement for various applications in engineering are so many. The more sophisticated applications in today's advanced technological world calls for better materials to be sustainable for efficient functioning of the system and its longevity. Bimetal cylinders is one such advancement which has taken its own importance for industrial applications and one of the efficient manufacturing practices for producing bimetal cylinders in centrifugal casting. Understanding how molten metals behave during centrifugal casting, and how their properties change due to different process parameters has been a crucial field of study for a sound centrifugal cast. This paper deals with presenting the various combinations of metals used by researchers to develop, analyze and study the bimetal cylinders, its interface, the process parameters, methods etc to improve the quality of casts produced for various applications with less defects.
